Appraisal services for home sellers - Southland Valuation, LLC

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Southland Valuation, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more MS homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
